The multimillion dollar bathrooms paid for by the city after Hurricane Sandy are already falling apart at Rockaway Beach, bummed out beach-goers say.

Some of the pricy new public bathrooms and lifegaurd shacks — which were supposed to be strong enough to withstand the next big storm — are rusting and cracking.

And one is even held together with Duct tape, beach-goers say.

“I look at it now and I say, ‘Is this going to last the winter?’” said one Far Rockaway lifeguard told the DNAInfo.com.

‘“There’s leaks…They left it half-done and now there’s problems. The job was done like people didn’t care. It’s a monstrosity. It’s a debacle.”

The city spent $105 million to build new beach structures including 10 bathrooms, and 21 lifeguard shacks at Rockaway Beach and beaches Staten Island and Brooklyn after the storm.

The city’s department of Design and Construction approved the project in January and began installing bathrooms in spring.

But before the still-under-construction project was completed, the bathrooms began to fall apart, neighbors say.

At least one of the structures now has Duct tape holding up its wheelchair-accessible ramp, which irks community leaders.

“When you look at them, they’re rusting. And for over $30 million they spent in Rockaway, I think the city got ripped off by about $29 million,” said Jonathan Gaska, district manager of Community Board 14 in Rockaway.

A spokesman for the city noted the structures were built with temporary materials and will be repaired after Labor Day.

“We will also be performing some cosmetic work, including refinishing portions of the stainless steel surfaces on the modular units,” the spokesman said.
